I reported this scam a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't remember if I provided the website address.

I am sure you guys have an overwhelming amount of reports, but I know this man is out there doing this to other people because it was such an elaborate scam. Other than the BBB, there is no real forum to get this message out to people. I am concerned for the public, but also for these puppies (if they are actually in his possession). Since I last reported this, he has blocked my number and I have become aware of "Google Voice" where they can block numbers.

Here is my story again:

Just a couple of weeks ago I came across the website doggyfrenchies.com. I got the contact information for the “breeder” off of the website. Whomever that person was, stole $800 from me.

I contacted him initially and he said that he required that I use Western Union. I decided to no go with him for that reason. After much searching and much disappointment, I looked again at that website and because of all the family photos, decided I would take the risk. I did not assume this risk without first taking (what I thought to be) the right precautions. I told them that I would not give them the number needed to pick up the money until I received a shipping confirmation and tracking number. Well, unfortunately --- these people have a very elaborate scam in place. I received an email with a confirmation number, tracking number link, and pictures of the dog getting checked out at the airport. At that point, I do admit, I got consumed with excitement of actually receiving the dog that I sent the number.

After this, the man tried to get me to give him even MORE money. He had the transportation guy email me a request for “pet insurance” while flying. A measly $1,590.00. Obviously I realized at that point that my dreams of actually receiving this dog were gone. I told him I would not send him any more money and to refund the other money. He then messaged me back a few hours later and said he would use the $800 he already had and put that towards the $1,590. So I would just need to send him $700.00 more. Although this was tempting, I just knew it was a bad idea so I continued to refuse. He then told me that he was going to report me to the police for animal cruelty?!?! For “abandoning” the dog at the airport.

I know at this point I am not going to get my $800 back. Lesson learned. I just hope and pray that he is not actually in the possession of any puppies because he is using them for the wrong reasons and obviously HE would be the one abandoning them at the airport.

Phone call from what appears to be Canada Revenue, stating that a sum of money is owed to them from an error on your income tax from last year. They ask for your Bank account,Visa, home address, and get this your phone number! (After they just called you) They go on telling you that what section of your return is wrong and how much they will be depositing to you. I advised them that if they called me that they should have all the information that is required to deposit funds in my account. upon hearing this the person at the other end just wants to verify your account numbers....This is where they get you ! ! ! they rhyme off a bunch of random numbers and ask if its the correct account. Once you say no and verify the correct account number they got you! When no info is given they hang up and will continue to call every day at the same time for a week.

I was left a voicemail on 8/25/16 from the phone number 845-363-7555 claiming that I was being accused of tax evasion by the IRS and that an arrest warrant had been issued for me... asking that I call back immediately. Which I did. Got someone on the phone with a foreign accent claiming to be an IRS agent. She told me the same thing as above and then asked me "Do you know what tax evasion is?" I indicated I used to work in public accounting and was familiar. She continued to press me to make me define what the term tax evasion meant and when I refused she read me a detailed textbook sounding response. At that point I asked how I could be assured this was really the IRS and not a fraudulent call... she hung up. Not sure if I should call the DA's office or the IRS. Is reporting this here enough? I assume the government reviews these.

I received a phone call on my cell and the caller claimed I had a criminal case that had been filed and the police were on their way to me. They said the IRS had filed against me for fraud/incorrect tax filing. I requested to get a phone number to call back, as I am not comfortable sharing my information with incoming calls. I received the following as their info.

Criminal Investigations Dept.

Tel: 866-463-3714

Rep name: Jack Thomas (actually sounded more like a female)

Shield #: DFIRS41011

Supervisor's name: Daniel Smith

The funny thing is, the accent was very heavy (India/Nigeria/foreign), but the last names are very American(interesting).

I google'd the phone number and it appears many people have gotten these calls. I hope there is a way for the authorities to catch these people, although I am guessing they are not stationed in the U.S.

Thank you for you're time.

Regards,

Ana Cervantes

While reading an incident put on the *** news pieces, a window opened right in the middle of my screen. Telling me I had only 5 minutes to call this number, because as I was reading the info in window my ***logins, credit cards, email info, and personal pictures in my computer, were being stolen. When I tried to X out of the newest window, it said if I exited from that page all service to my computer would disappear. I then called a friend to see what I should do; being told to unplug from the wall, I did so. After about 30 seconds I replugged the computer, got the screen that said the computer had been shut down improperly. Everything came back up normal. Not sure what this about. the only way to contact whoever this was, was with this number 844-576-0464. The recording said the call could not be completed as dialed, I tried 3 times.

His text message included the following. $1,500.00 for a deposit, $300.00 for credit card processing, $200.00 for a tip and $6,000.00 for another party. Did NOT text back because I knew it was a scam.

Received in mail. Bottom of form states "you can choose to stop receiving prescreened offers from this and other companies by calling toll free 1-888-567-8688. When you call to opt out first question what is your SSN number, then date of birth. Why is my SSN number necessary to opt out. This a scam for identify theft!!

phone call regarding enforcement action executed by US Treasury intending your serious intention. Ignoring this will be an intentional second attempt to avoid initial appearance before a magistrate judge or a grand jury for a federal criminal offense. My number is 310-725-8481. I advise you to cooperate with us to help us to help you.

I received the same phone call last week with a different telephone number of 209-362-3854.
